Algorithm Functionality Program Details

Available functions can be accessed from the menu bar located at the top of the screen and from the right click menu of any unlocked algorithm.

Algorithm Functions - The copy and delete functions can be performed on the Program Details tab using a right click menu. Reports also can be generated using the right click menu on the Program Details tab.
Algorithm Revision Functions - You can view, copy, and delete algorithm revisions. Active revisions can be set on the Program Details tab as well.
Algorithm Tab - When you create a new algorithm, edit an existing algorithm, or work with revisions, you will be placed on the Algorithm tab.

The functions you can perform depend on the status of the algorithm. Locked algorithms will have fewer options. There are icons that can tell you at a glance what the status of the algorithm is.

Icon	What it Indicates
	Algorithm. Universal algorithms are project specific and can be created on the universal tab only. Global algorithms are product specific and can be created at the global level, or from a program version. Local algorithms are program specific and can be created at the program version level. The same options, new, edit, copy and delete are available on universal, global or program details tab.
	Universal. Indicates that the algorithm was created at the universal level. The table variable is grayed out and can be edited, copied or deleted from the universal tab only.
	Locked Algorithm. Locked Algorithms are not open for editing. A lock icon indicates that this algorithm is locked by a program and is not open for copying, editing or deleting. If the algorithm is locked because the program is locked, you must return to the program and unlock it. This will unlock the algorithm and changes can be made.
	Template Lock. If the algorithm is locked because it came from a template, you will not be able to unlock the algorithm. You can create a new algorithm if necessary.
	In-Use. Algorithms that are in use are currently being worked on by another user in the system or algorithms that you have open in another tab are not open for editing, copying, or deleting. The algorithm will be available when the user exits the variable.
	Advanced Option. This algorithm has had advanced algorithm looping applied to it.
	Dynamic Category. Indicates that the algorithm has a Create Category Instance function. Local algorithms only.
	Active Revision. This algorithm is the current active revision.
